Brief synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com)
He stood out here.
He stood out there.
He tried everything to be more like them.
It’s not easy being seen. Especially when you’re NOT like everyone else. Especially when what sets you apart is YOU.
Sometimes we squish ourselves to fit in. We shrink. Twist. Bend. Until — ! — a friend shows the way to endless possibilities.
In this bold and highly visual book, an emphatic but mis
placed exclamation point learns that being different can be very exciting! Period.

Activities and Resources:
An obvious choice for a punctuation lesson.

Writing: Write a story about another punctuation mark. Imagine what it’s like to be that mark.

Why I like LOVE this book:
It’s creative, hilarious, and endearing. And that’s a lot to say about a punctuation mark!
